I have an aunt (also my godmother) who I was very close to as a child/teenager and as I grew older (31 now), we grew apart. We’ve seen each other off and on over the years with pretty much only small talk and cordial conversations between us. Distance seems to be our new normal with only occasional meetings at family parties and funerals. When I got married and a couple of years later had a child, she was uninterested and sent generic congratulations. Which is fine but I was taken aback a bit because her and my uncle have no children and I was always the closest thing they had. I did not hear from her at all after her congrats text.
I reached out to her sending her my love when her sister (my other aunt) died but I did not receive a response. At the funeral we exchanged a hug and that was it.
I honestly have no idea what happened or where our relationship went wrong. I know her and my mom (her other sister) do not really like each other but I’ve never gotten involved.
I have also never asked her for anything even monetary wise. So I just don’t understand what happened along the way and everytime I try to have any sort of conversation with her, she runs away from me lol
Anywho, our family of 3 will be moving back to my husband’s home country and I want to say goodbye and tell her that I enjoyed her company as a child and I have wished more us in adulthood and that I just wanted to say goodbye before I left but wanted to respect her space as I know that distance is what she seems to prefer for our relationship, etc etc etc.
Would this be too “dramatic”? Would it be perceived as odd?
Just curious what others think because I’m at a loss lol
Thanks!
